You may have heard the term “intuitive entrepreneurship” thrown around over the past few years. That’s because the approach to business growth is shifting away from being hyper data driven and “competitive” to something that balances out the masculine and feminine. The masculine being the logical and action-oriented side, and the feminine being the more intuitive and creative side. In this episode, I explain my POV on what it means to lead intuitively, what it has looked like for me to lead intuitively to grow my own business, and what you need to practice in order to sharpen your connection to your intuition. If you know you want to take this kind of approach to evolving and expanding your impact as a business owner and lead in a way that feels good and aligned, this episode is for you.   To submit your question, visit the show notes.   Follow Me On: Facebook Instagram

In this week’s solo episode, I share how to create your signature offer. And not an offer that’s basic and like every other coach or service-provider out there, but that’s unique to you. Creating something that isn’t templated, but is based on your experience, your training, and your own transformation is one of the key ingredients for standing out from the crowd and becoming known for what you do. When you don’t have something juicy to offer like this, it becomes challenging to feel clear and confident about what you do, and it also becomes a challenge to market yourself magnetically. So, today I’ll be diving into the key steps to creating the right offer for your business and your audience. I also share more about my business mentorship program Your Wellness Brand. This is my signature method and offering, and I’m currently accepting applications.

This week’s topic was inspired by a conversation I had with someone recently. And that is… how to create an online presence that is a natural extension of who you really are. Where your website, your social media posts, and everything in between feels the same as meeting you in person. As I was chatting with this newbie business creator, she expressed concern that she didn’t know how to do this without being influenced by what other people are doing in the wellness space. This is SUCH a common challenge, and I’m addressing that piece and all of the above head on in the episode. Also, I have exciting news!! My second business baby, pstprtm.com, launched recently.

Are you a creative who also interested in wellness? Or are you a wellness entrepreneur who’s also interested in a creative field? It’s so normal to have more than one interest and passion and talent. Yet, when it comes to business, it can be confusing which path to choose.

So, I share candidly about why I made the switch and what was happening circumstantially to propel me in that direction. I also share my usual house update with you. Aside from the project we’re working on right now – it involves wallpaper! – I’ve been becoming more and more aware of ways that I tend to drain my energy and my joy.

If you’ve ever resisted choosing a target audience or have felt uncertain about which audience would really be right for your business, this episode is for you. Truly one of the biggest reasons entrepreneurs fail to create content that resonates and attracts their dream clients is … they don’t know their audience. Your audience is who you design not only your offers for, but also your message so that it makes them feel seen and heard. If you notice that your content isn’t getting any engagement—those IG posts have few likes or comments or your email open rates are low—that means you likely need to do some work here. In this episode, I share my top recommendations for choosing the right audience for you and position your business as their solution.   To submit your question, visit the show notes.   Follow Me On: Facebook Instagram

In so many cases, people who step into entrepreneurship are leaving behind a traditional career. A coveted editorial position in fashion. A director title. An impressive track record. The corporate world puts a lot of value in accolades, credentials, and resumes. Which can be disorienting when you start a business. You may feel pressure to have “more experience” in order to be taken seriously. But do you really need to worry about that in the beginning? This week on the podcast I dive into this topic and give you my honest opinion, especially as it relates to this week’s question from a dear listener: How do you speak to your experience when your resume speaks of a different journey? How can you legitimize your credentials as someone who really cares to be there and be honest with others? I am coming from a corporate past, with everyone telling me to go back into finance, but I know there is gold in my new path.   To submit your question, visit the show notes.   Follow Me On: Facebook Instagram
